{IN PERSON} The Heart of the Ritual

This class is IN PERSON. TICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. Class fees are non transferable, we stick to the student agreements agreed upon during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time.

So you’ve cast your circle, invoked your allies…and now what? How do you cast the spell? What do you do in ritual to really be moved by the magic you seek? Come to this workshop to develop tools for ecstatic ritual practice! This practice will help get you more comfortable designing your own rituals, stepping out of the script, and listening to the magic that wants to speak through you.

In this workshop we will:

• Explore trancework as a tool for enchantment & spellcasting
• Craft ritual intentions to guide our magic
• Discuss different types of ritual technology and the basics of spellcraft
• Work with movement, drumming, and song to practice improvisatory, emergent magic

All are welcome. You do not need to have magical experience or identify as a witch to join!
